Not a bother. This is a fairly common problem because matplotlib, by
design, does not handle layouts for you. If you are looking for an
automated way of handling this, there is plt.tight_layout(), which is a
feature that was added in v1.2, IIRC, that tries adjusting certain spacing
and size parameters automatically in an effort to keep everything inside
the figure space. However, a solution like yours is often perfered because
it gives you explicit control over the plot, and is guaranteed to work the
same way, every time.
